Default Buying car interstate

Hey guys,


Need a bit of help with this. The car is in NSW and has 3 months rego. I live in Victoria. The car will be from a dealer and we will be getting the car transported down to Melbourne.

How do dealers generally do about this process?

The dealer should do it all for you (and keep the refund given on the return of the NSW plates )
Regards,

They will drop it right off to your front door - no stress!
They use a car freight truck and smaller flat trays to get it as close as possible to your place, just like you see on the major highways every day.

You should have no trouble if they look after you properly.

Basically depending on the company or set up a flat bed will pick your car up from the dealer take it to a depot to go on a semi or B double to melb and then a flat bed again from depot to your door.

Like they said above make sure you keep the NSW paperwork because you'll get a refund

But its VERY common and easy.
